Data Types and Sub Types Reference

When mapping data items, you must select from the following Data Types and Sub Types. Capitalization is critical — use these values exactly as shown.

How to read this reference:

  • Bold entries are top-level Data Types
  • Indented entries beneath a Data Type are its available Sub Types
  • Data Types with no indented entries have no Sub Types and are standalone signals
